Fish oils contain two active omega-3 fatty acids, dha and epa. Most fish oil products contain both dha and epa, but supplements enriched in dha or epa are available. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to significantly reduce sudden cardiac death. Some studies also indicate the potential for benefits in dementia and risk of heart attack. The omega-3 content of cold water fish is the highest.

Good quality:
Marine fish oil has many research-based benefits. It makes the platelets silky so if you are on a blood thinner consult w/doc. Some folks take 6-8 caps daily under supervision. Poor quality MFO can be contaminated w/toxins so get a good brand that has been purified and is 50% EPA&DHA. Peace and good health. Read label. Each cap is probably 1 gm (1000 mg).

Time:
The supplements will help lots of things but won't do much to help your periods become regular. The fewer doses you have had the sooner they should get back to normal but there is a wide variation between women in how long it takes.

There is no fda regulation on the current dose of fish oil for prevention of alzheimer's disease. The only fda approved medication that helps to slow down memory loss is called amini-3. It contains fish oil, dha and others. Another options to prevent it are to exercise regularly, to engage brain game (ie crossword puzzle or wii games) and to maintain busy schedule/socialization.

Fish oil:
There have been many claims for fish oil helping lots of things. There is precious little rigorous data supporting any of the claims. Fish oil is pretty safe however and if you try it and think it helps, you might get an answer for you. It wouldn't prove anything for the rest of the world tho' if you have some disease process (es) should discuss first with your doc.

Fish Oil:
I'm not sure what you mean by sensitive, but in starting fish oil therapy, I would recommend a starting dose of 1, 250 or 1, 000 mg. Stay away from the double or triple strengths for now. Also, I would highly recommend selecting a brand that is highly purified and comes from fish caught as far to the north as possible. Begin by taking one capsule daily and always with a meal.

DHA and EPA:
I don't know the indication for fish oil in seizures but in general the active ingredients you are looking for are EPA and DHA and typically those are dosed at 500. So check the label.

1000 is ok:
It is generally recommended that those even without risk of heart disease can take 1000mg of fish oil per day or at least one to two servings of oily fish per week. This is not "overkill". Consider the japanese diet which ia 5 times higher on fish consumption than ours.

Not likely related:
Fish oil shouldn't affect your heart rate but regardless, as long as you don't have dizziness, faint, headache, or nausea, that heart rate is normal. Also sometimes the act of digestion will cause a noticeable heart rate decrease - which is what is supposed to happen. The fish oil tablets may be doing this.

Smarter, better sight:
Taking dha has been shown to improve the vision and intelligence of babies while lowering risk of behavioral problems. It significantly reduces risk of premature birth as well. It will also benefit your health, lowering risk of postpartum depression. See http://www. Rmbarry. Com/research/prenatal_omega3.Html and http://www. Chiralbalance. Com/dha/.

Confirmation bias:
There is no mechanism for this. Most likely you are experiencing a deceptive phenomenon called confirmation bias, where a believed notion is confirmed as true since it is consciously monitored. When it does not hold true, the negative correlation is considered an anomaly and exception from the usual pre-conceived notion. Alternatively, taking the fish oil calms the HR by trusting its benefits.

Potentially the fish:
Oil could result in loose stools and intravascular volume depletion with resultant orthostatic hypotension however seeing that you are taking medications for Parkinson's it is MUCH MORE LIKELY to be due to the Parkinson's than anything else you are taking or doing. Wear good quality thigh high support stockings and see if that helps. Florinef (fludrocortisone) or Midodrine could potentially be helpful too.

Yes:
Yes this can be very helpful for developing baby particularly dha for brain and eye development. Look for a high quality source that screens for heavy metals (mercury) and pcbs which are other pollutants. Krill oil, which is lower down on the food chain is a great option as those toxins bioaccumulate.
